pcm to dxf-too many line segments for water jet

Post by salambert6 »

Does anybody know how to minimize the line segments in a dxf?

We currently use PlasmaCam and need something water jetted, but there are thousands of line segments in the dxf. It will take the water jet forever to cut all of those. I tried using Corel Draw but I'm not too familiar with it just yet, teaching myself as I go. I tried smoothing the lines in PlasmaCam but the image slowly loses it's shape. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like you have not linked the line segments together.
Set the 'Gap distance to jump' to .06 and then LINK.
